Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore GINZA7 Watches
The March 2011 series of disasters in Japan really sucked for them, and it still sucks for them. It was like a triple play of Armageddon leaving even Godzilla offering to help pick up the rubble. Joking aside, much of Japan is in bad shape? - though the country is help together by the people's pride and cultural ability to survive and thrive after disaster strikes.As is the case with most all natural disasters, entities both private and public come to help. Corporations like to hold special events or create special products to aid recovery causes. Are these actions commercially driven? Sure, but it is the thought that counts right. Japan has always been a healthy market for Audemars Piguet and now, about six months after the fact when Japan is still in recovery mode, AP has launched two money raising charity programs. Oh, and worth noting is that Audemars Piguet will not charge for labor fixing any AP watches that may have been damaged as an effect of the disaster in Japan. Check with

In-Depth: Hands-On With The Entire Patek Philippe 175th Anniversary Collection, Including The Grandmaster Chime
In October of 2014, Patek Philippe presented a collection of pieces that the world had been waiting 25 years to see. It was Patek who in 1989 launched the very concept of commemorative watches with its 150th anniversary collection and who today still garners more attention than anyone else in the world of haute horlogerie. We have already shown you the basics of what comprises the Patek 175 collection (see here, here, here, and here) but today we will go hands-on with all the pieces, as well as break down a bit more about what this collection may or may not mean long-term.

I need help
I have a rolex sub and really think I need an Omega. I bought my wife a blue bond a week back. I gotta have one. I just have a hard time pulling the trigger. I cant decide between the co axial blue bond or the GMT version. I wake up at night thinking about this stuff. The Blue bond does something for me but i'm just hesitant to drop another 2-3 grand. i see everything on the news about the economy and it scares the he** out of me. I could settle for the quartz model, but in my mind, it wouldnt be the same. What to do?? Fr John...where are you??? I know who to call..just need some encouragement. Help!!!

Will the Oyster Perpetual 36 Blue be discontinued?
Long shot, but does anyone know if the Oyster Pereptual 36 Blue (116000 - with the 3-6-9 Arabic numerals) will be discontinued after Baselworld 2018?I'm waiting until after Baselworld April 2018 to buy the watch (in case there's something I like more that comes out during Baselworld), but if it might be discontinued then I might just buy it now...A salesperson at a boutique told me that it might be discontinued, since it's the only color of the OP36 that wasn't 'upgraded' to sticks instead of 3-6-9 Arabic numerals in 2014...Thanks!
